In March of each year, the Admissions Coordinator will set one admissions cutoff date and a corresponding review period for each start date. These dates will be approved by the Admissions Committee.

On the cutoff date, all completed admissions files are given to the Admissions Committee. The Admissions Committee will determine Admissions Scores using the BSN Admission Screening Tool during the established review period and input the scores in each applicant’s account in Campus Nexus.

The Dean of Nursing will determine the number of accepted applicants for start date. An acceptance letter will be generated and e-mailed to the accepted applicants. In the event of a tie, composite scores from the applicants’ entrance test will be used. The accepted applicants may then proceed with the Enrollment Process.

Upon acceptance, an Accepted Applicant has the option to cancel prior to the quarter beginning; however, an Applicant will be ineligible for future acceptance after two cancellations within one year. Failure to complete all steps of the Enrollment Process by the predetermined deadlines will result in a cancellation. Accepted Applicants will be notified of such cancellation and allowed the opportunity to reapply to the program for future start dates, should they choose.

Acceptance and enrollment into Platt College is contingent upon the completion of a 7-year background check that is within 6 months of the Applicant’s intended start date and is approved by the Dean of the School of Nursing.  Any fees related to the background check (completed through American Databank) are to be paid by the Applicant. Please see Policy 03:06:00 Background Check For Students. Student progress is continually evaluated and continuation after Admission is not guaranteed.

Remaining applicants will remain prospects and be notified via e-mail that they have not been accepted into Platt College. If they would like to compete for admission in a future quarter, they should notify the Admissions Department of their intent via email. If all items in the applicant’s admissions file are valid, the applicant will then be reviewed during the review period for the next start.

Admissions Committee  members are obligated to recluse themselves from the review of any applicant they feel their familiarity would prevent complete objectivity.

Each applicant will complete a distance education proficiency prior to enrollment to ensure that s/he is able to successfully learn in a hybrid learning model, including some courses 100% online.
